The HMC Sub-Machine Gun was designed as a one-handed weapon to be used by the CIS's H1 Battle Droids they use as their main weapon. Designed by Hansol Mining Corporation, and produced by both HMC and the CIS, the SMB is designed to be fired from the hip of a droid, or be held by both hands of an average person to have absolutely no recoil. This was very well received by testers, however, most people found that with armor, it was hard to keep on target long enough to get through it. Thus a laser sight was added to help with both precision and accuracy. The biggest downside is its inability to be used effectively from long range, thus it is recommended for it to be supported by a longer range weapon when incorporated in units, such as a CIS battalion.
